    HND-SYD-BNE flight change. 5 minute Syd transfer

    Have an award booking HAN-SYD- BNE where HAN-SYD leg has been delayed. The offered alternate has 5 minutes transit window with no other options avaiable. Flight was due in at 18.50 to connect with last flight out at 2035. I now arrive at 2030. Surely this is on Qantas to find an alternative...

    Apologies if this has already been noted. I was feeling unconcerned about the thread on Citi reducing earn rate for Velocity here: Reduction in Transfer Rates to Velocity/Krisflyer - Page 26 That was until I went to Citi to move my points, just in case. Reward points are now 2:1, halving the...

    Bedbugs in Melbourne

    It appears I have been attacked by bedbugs during a recent stay at at top end hotel in Melbourne. Going to get it checked out by the Dr today but the hotel is the only suspect as I have not stayed anywhere else in the last month. I'm not one for chasing compensation, but should I advise the hotel?
